Free Day! Nov.6th

Today we were supposed to visit a historic landmark the beautiful Anshun Huangguoshu Waterfall. However, it poured all day. So, we decided to have a free day. We did do a little local shopping between the raindrops. We bought Faith a dressy winter coat for $8.00. One dollar equals almost eight yens, also called RMB's. The streets here are very dirty and beautiful buildings are intermixed with poverty. We now know what it's like to be an animal in the zoo as people stare and swarm around you as if you are an extinct species! Most give you a thumbs up and a smile. Morgan treated all 4 families to a very tasty group dinner filled with entertainment. An interesting fact we learned is that this people group speak a different dialect and have no written language. They greeted us with a customary song and drink of wine. Either Alissa looked older than her age or they just didn't care because they forced every adult to drink it. As for Faith she is settling in and beginning to test the waters.
